LTL & FTL Shipping FAQs
What is the difference between LTL and FTL shipping?
LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping combines smaller shipments from multiple customers within the same trailer, making it a cost-effective option when your freight does not require an entire truck. FTL (full truckload) shipping provides a dedicated trailer for larger shipments or high-priority freight. Trappers Transport provides both LTL and FTL shipping across Canada and the United States.
When should I choose LTL instead of FTL shipping?
LTL shipping is typically a good choice when you are shipping a smaller number of pallets and do not need an entire trailer. By consolidating compatible freight, LTL transportation allows you to pay for the space your shipment requires rather than a full truck. FTL may be better suited to larger loads, dedicated shipments, or freight with particular scheduling and handling requirements.
Can LTL and FTL shipments be temperature controlled?
Yes. Trappers Transport provides temperature-controlled transportation for both LTL and FTL freight. With decades of experience in food-grade and temperature-controlled logistics, Trappers transports frozen goods, fresh produce, and other temperature-sensitive shipments while maintaining shipment visibility and product integrity.
Does Trappers Transport provide LTL and FTL shipping between Canada and the United States?
Yes. Trappers Transport provides cross-border LTL and FTL transportation between Canada and the United States. Through its cross-border logistics services, the Trappers team helps coordinate transportation, scheduling, customs requirements, and regulatory procedures to keep freight moving efficiently between the two countries.
What information do I need to get an LTL or FTL freight quote?
To request an LTL or FTL shipping quote, have your pickup and delivery locations, shipment dimensions, pallet count, total weight, commodity type, temperature requirements, and any special handling requirements available. Providing complete shipment information helps Trappers Transport determine the appropriate shipping mode and transportation solution for your freight.
